How to keep pet lizards in winter

1. Pay attention to ventilation. At least one side of the container is twice the length of the lizard's body. If you want to use a sealed glass box or cylinder, you need to install a ventilation hole next to it.

2. Pay attention to heating and lighting. Generally, the incandescent lamp is set in the corner of the box, which can create an environment with temperature gradient changes in the box. The temperature in the box is generally kept above 30 degrees Celsius.

Because lizards like heat rather than cold, high temperatures ensure that they can carry out normal digestive functions.

3. The key is to fully expose the lizard to ultraviolet rays. Because they need to synthesize vitamin D3 in ** through ultraviolet light, it helps to promote calcium absorption and reduce the chance of death from rickets known as "dry wood disease" or commonly known as "osteomalacia". So it's helpful to let them get more sun.

4. Feed appropriately for different breeds. Varieties of plants such as skink, iguana, and water dragon can be fed with vegetables, fruits, etc.; Small lizards can feed crickets. Newborn mice have the highest nutritional value if they can be swallowed.

In addition, it can also be fed meat, liver, cat food, insects, earthworms, etc.

I don't know how effective the 2 kinds of feeds of Taiwan SITC and Taiwan zoo-life are, you can try them.

If it's a green hyena?

Use a heat lamp and heat the pad temperature.

It's okay to keep it at about 30 degrees - 35 degrees.

UVB should be used if it is not possible to ensure that the green hyena is exposed to the sun every day!!

It's better not to mix with snakes!!

Spray water frequently.

Winter is almost over!!

Green Iguana, don't give him worms!

If you want to increase nutrition, you can buy some, and you can also use calcium powder for green hyenas or something!

There are many varieties of lizards, and their living environments are very different, so it is impossible to say which species you want to refer to. A large proportion of lizards live in the tropics and subtropics, and if the ambient temperature is below 20 degrees, they basically die, and there is no hibernation. A small number of lizards native to temperate zones can hibernate, you can spread more sand and gravel and dry grass and dead leaves, and put them in a place where the indoor temperature is relatively stable (not in a place where the temperature of the air conditioner or heating changes drastically) and a quiet environment.

For example, water dragons or something, if you raise them at home, most of them are heated up, many of them have the same treatment as IG, but the fact is that the temperature in the wild is very low in winter and there is no place to warm it, and after the water dragon raised in Shanghai escaped, there are many examples of successfully wintering in the community garden, as for Liwen or something, in the store winter is not heated at all, and does not eat, although it sells fast, replaces quickly, but there are also many in the store for several weeks. Now we have a lot of experience in how to heat up and how to illuminate the light, but we lack the experience of domestic lizards in the winter at room temperature, and it seems that there is no preparation for the tenant to be willing to use his lizard simulates to do this potentially life-threatening experiment.

1. During the winter period of the lizard, the most important thing is to ensure that the temperature of the environment in which the lizard disturbs the winter is constant.

2. Breeders can install a 250-watt infrared bulb or a 100W air heater in the breeding box for raising lizards, and also need to prepare a heating pad for heating, and the breeder can choose the kind with UVB lamp.

3. In winter, don't force the lizard to eat too much, because the lizard's diet is affected by the temperature pattern, only when the ambient temperature reaches a certain level, the lizard will take the initiative to eat, but the ambient temperature is not up to standard, the lizard will refuse or stop eating. So while the lizard is hibernating, don't force the lizard to eat.
